Oh, man, Marvel UK comics. They were pretty bad! It's a lot of very Extreme characters, and really nothing that Marvel's going to want to acknowledge nowadays. (Genetix as a team does get a Wikipedia entry, though!) The only stuff that really carried over into the main Marvel line was Death's Head II (which eventually reverted to the much more popular Death's Head) and maybe Motormouth.

The bigger deal for the Marvel UK line was that it brought in a bunch of super-talented artists, most of whom would go on to do mainline American superhero books. Off the top of my head, that imprint gave us Gary Frank, Bryan Hitch, Liam Sharp... probably a bunch of others, too. Good line for generating talent, bad line for quality characters.
